See the trailer.

Set in the near-future, mind-control technology has taken society by storm and a multiplayer on-line game called "Slayers" allows humans control other humans in mass-scale. Simon (Lerman) controls Kable (Butler), the on-line champion of the game, and with his every move tracked by millions, his ultimate challenge becomes regaining his identity and independence by defeating the game's mastermind (Hall) through launching an attack on the system that has imprisoned him.

Looks like some bizarre hydrid of eXistenZ, The running man and escape from LA....Or a movie that Jason Statham passed up.

BruceSkywalker

The story sorta sounds like Unreal Tournament, Quake 3

batmanfan136
looks like a good movie but idk

dadudemon
The "slayer" has to survive 30 rounds and then he's set free.


All the physical players are on death row.

Seems fun. I'll probably rate the movie a 6 or a 7.

Looks like an interesting concept. I'm a sucker for this kind of sci-fi, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Wolfie
This looks like a lot of fun. I'll definitely be seeing it.

MildPossession
eXistenZ is wonderful Jaden.

As for Gamer, it's one I will see but it reminded me of the Deathrace remake movie but video games instead. I'll probably rent the DVD.

Impediment
I'll be going to the theater later to see this. I figure that it will be a good popcorn flick, if not a great movie.

Robtard
Movie sucked, really, I don't have a single good thing to say about it. Save your money and rent this for a lazy weekend.

Impediment
I didn't get to go tonight, since I was detained with prior obligations.

Thanx for the heads up, Rob. I'll look further into it.

What didn't you like about it?

The Nuul
Thanks for the heads up mate.

If it was action and a few laughs, then it delivers. The storyline is even decent if you're into that type of stuff. But I mostly liked it for the hilarity of some of the scenes, and the massive amounts of gore.

The Nuul
I just want to see some action and gore. I already knew the script sucked.

Discos
This movie has been on my mind for a while, ever since I read about it in some Movie Mag.

I have been eagerly waiting, but a littl ebit gutted that some people on this thread didnt like it. I aint actually sure when it is out in the UK (this week or next). So I will have to wait and see.

definatly got a Jasom Statham look to it, the plot sounds shit hot tho.
But it does have my wonderin whether it'll be a suckfest like "The Condemned" God no!

It took me a while to get into this movie. I knew that i was going into a movie that was exploiting a popular medium with a gimmick. Because of this i was expecting a more tongue in cheek movie. I was surprised to see how serious the movie was. I don't know if it is how the players control the people but the movie just came off as incredibly silly. I began to become interested in the dialogue between Butler and his controller. The action is also pretty decent. It's nothing special, but like the Deathrace remake it feels influenced by video games. I'm not trying to compare this to Deathrace. They are two different movies and Deathrace is far better but the action will have you thinking of certain video games. The flick definitely has some redeeming qualities but it took itself a bit to serious for my liking and FUUUUK I hate Ludacris. GOD DAMN!! I hate seeing that mans face in movies.

Discos
is Ludaris in the movie? that sucks.

middle of the month is the earliest I will get to see it.

so am confused Jinxed... u said it seemed serious dialogue but became silly?

The Nuul
Yeah, I cant stand Ludacris either in the movies.

-Pr-
watched this the other day. was pretty average, i thought. some nice fight scenes, but not much else...

Discos
still aint seen it, i think it just came out in the UK or definatly this week.
I go on vacation on saturday so I will try and see it before then

Discos
Garbage... utter garbage.

it was awesome when they were inside the Slayers game, but showing that society nonensense, I am shocked!

2/10

Told you.

Discos
you sure did dude, cant believe some reviewers gave it some decent ratings.

and yeah i guess i was giving you americans the "vacation" term haha

jaden101
Looking back to the start of this thread. It never ceases to amaze me how people actually have high hopes for films like this. It was obviously going to be complete and utter shit.

Same with Surrogates...Same with Legion

I'll be astounded of either of those turn out to be good.

The Nuul
I am sick of seeing Luda.....


As for the movie.....I felt like it had a longer plot but was cut way too short and it was too rushed.


4/10

I did not expect this to be some amazing film but I did expect it to be a pretty fun popcorn flick and it even failed at that. Was really surprised at just how bad this movie was.

Rogue Jedi
Rented it, not bad. Loved Kable's escape, puke in the gas tank FTW.

Garbage Movie. 2/10. Gerald makes it better then a 1/10.
